You can't break the mold. The format is what it is. It's a condensed concert of snippets of hits. You play the game or you don't get the gig. It is what it is.

His song "Not Like Us" has 1 billion! spotify plays, the video has 230M views, Drake sued him over it (diss track) and he still played like 1 minute of it haha. The same thing happens to me when they put on some shitty country artist who they play in CVS every day and I'm like what was that poo, but Kendrick is a true artist. I get that it doesn't translate to the general public though, and the art is too obscure for the average watcher to comprehend

Love Kendrick but that's what I'm saying, it's just a bad format for him.

I doubt he feels that way. He doesn't even use social media so I dunno how any of this would affect him negatively. He won't lose any fans that he already has in the underground. Seems like the perfect anti-establishment performance for me

It makes a lot of people uncomfortable and amplifies real hip hop music to younger generations. Sounds like a win/win to me.

Not saying any of that. I'm just saying it's not a great format for him to display his talent. That's it, that's all.

I like Kendrick Lamar a lot but that wasn't great. Just not the right format for him. He's a real rapper and the SB halftime show is for popstars doing 30 seconds snippets of pop songs.

They should have let Lil Wayne have it.   It would have worked better.  Wayne has some almost pop-ish songs.   Huge catalog and colabs with others to pull from.  Could have given a nod to all the New Orleans rappers that brought him up and totally catered to us 40 year olds!   Hot Boyz, Juvenile, Big Trymers, Cash Money.

So yeah, priority has to be to get Bryce more weapons, of course, right?  

It’s all about defense. Always has been, always will be. I hope Tep is paying attention  tonight. 

 

I definitely think there is a propensity to overvalue offense and neglect defense, but Philadelphia is a really complete team. They have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL (detroit maybe the only other team with a case), #1 RB, top WR duo, top 10 TE and a pro bowl QB. Their defense is mostly made up of fantastic draft picks and bargain free agents. 

But to your general point, you can't be myopic. You have to build an entire team. I hope the Panthers front office didn't need to wait till the super bowl to figure that out. Having the worst defense in nfl history this past year should be enough motivation to start investing more in the defense.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
